Overview

Our program provides students with the theoretical perspectives and methodological skills needed for advanced scholarly work. Developmental Psychology students at University of Rochester obtain extensive research training, take courses, and gain teaching experience in psychology.

Features

Our training program specifically focuses on normal and atypical development during the first two decades of life.

The small size of the developmental psychology program gives students a cohesive and supportive environment that ensures they receive individualized attention.

Programme Structure

Research

We encourage our students to develop their own identities as researchers and scholars.

Thus, the training experience facilitates mastery of the scientific skills in the substantive knowledge area of the program faculty while allowing students to develop a research program that reflects their own interests.

We foster this process by intensive collaborative exchanges with faculty.

Students have extensive interaction with program faculty while having access to numerous training opportunities.

Our students have access to a wide number of research experiences in all three departmental programs (developmental, clinical, and social psychology).
